Legendary golf courses like St Andrews, Turnberry, or Gleneagles, along with a stay at a five-star hotel, could be part of a Scottish trip. It's hardly surprising that Scotland is so well-known among golfers around the world given its diversity and history. See our guide to the top hidden gem courses in Scotland for ideas. Golf in Fife & East Coast Here you will find the famous "Home of Golf" St Andrews, which has hosted The Open Championship 29 times. This course is where it all began and is a bucket list course for these seeking golf breaks in Scotland. The town oozes character and charm and is dominated by the links. But, history doesn't stop there. As you tee up on the 1st hole, with the R&A headquarters overlooking, one cannot help but imagine all the players that have walked these fairways. The St Andrews facility doesn't stop there; there are eight golf courses to play on the estate. Other courses in the region worthy of note are the charming Ladybank golf club, Kingsbarns golf club and the Dukes Course at St Andrews golf club. The Carnoustie Hotel in Angus is another excellent hotel steeped in history and another Open venue. This fantastic property has numerous facilities, including three golf courses; The Budden, The Burnside and The Championship Links. Any stay here is a unique experience, and the course can be particularly challenging, but the whole resort is enveloped in history. The Championship Course at Carnoustie is most famous for being an integral golf course used in the Dunhill Links. However, it has also hosted an impressive eight Open Championships. Where to stay: The St Andrews Old Course Hotel or the Fairmont St Andrews Bay. Golf in Ayrshire, West Coast Over to the west coast, we have another stretch of world-famous Open venues. Old Prestwick, Royal Troon and Turnberry are all links hosts of the Open Championship. When visiting, it is surprising how close these venues are to each other...truly a golfers dream location. Starting with Trump Turnberry, The Aisla Course is the star of the show, located on the rugged coastline and overlooked by the impressive Turnberry hotel. This Resort is where the memorable "Duel in the Sun '' took place in the 1977 Open. Who wouldn't want to experience the course on which this story unravelled. This coastline has astounding views of Aisla Craig and the Isle of Arran. Match that with extensive beaches, deep blue sea and some of the best golf in the UK; we highly recommend a golf trip to Ayrshire. We can also recommend some less well-known courses, some of which are available to non-members. Where to stay: Trump Turnberry is a fantastic experience, although not cheap. Golf in the Highlands The Gleneagles Hotel is one of Scotland’s most iconic golf venues, with three championship courses on-site — the King’s, Queen’s and the PGA Centenary, host of the 2014 Ryder Cup. It blends heritage, scenery and world-class facilities, which is why it consistently ranks among the best places for a luxury golf holiday in the Highlands. If you’re travelling further north, you can also play Murcar Links in Aberdeenshire, a true championship links layout overlooking the North Sea. Away from the fairways, Gleneagles offers country-sports, falconry, cycling, archery and an award-winning spa. Where to stay: Gleneagles Hotel — five-star, full facilities, ideal for couples or groups. Here is our selection of the best golf courses in Scotland: Carnoustie Golf Resort The Carnoustie Golf Hotel & Spa is one of Scotland's finest golf resorts.

Where to Play Golf in Scotland
Scotland Golf Courses
Many visitors travel to Scotland to play legendary courses and relive iconic moments from golfing history. To guarantee that everyone in your party has an enjoyable and reasonably priced golf adventure, our staff is available to assist you in creating a custom schedule. Though they can be more expensive, the most well-known resorts are frequently thought to be worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In order to help you keep your spending under control, we can also suggest hidden gems.
Without a visit to a nearby whisky distillery-an experience as distinctive as the courses themselves, no Scottish golf trip is complete. Often nestled in stunning Highland scenery, distilleries provide guided tastings and a window into Scotland's national drink. Consider adding stops at scenic lochs and historic castles to enrich your trip.
You will never be short of a relaxing drink after playing golf in Scotland, as many of the resorts and towns have many bars and restaurants to choose from. In terms of heading out in the evening, St Andrews offers a lot of pubs to visit, and our choice would be The Jigger with its seating overlooking the 17th. Turnberry has a fantastic spike bar named the Duel in the Sun and The Grand Tea & Lounge Bar although groups may want to venture to nearby Ayr or Prestwick for livelier choices. For more information or to book please contact our team. We are ready, waiting and keen to tailor-make your next golf break in Scotland.
Famed for its extensive coastlines, rugged terrain and sand dune links courses; this region provides the enthusiastic golfer with a wealth of options when deciding which courses to include in a golf trip to Scotland.
Being the northernmost part of the UK, Scotland's climate is unpredictable. Booking your golf holiday in summer or early autumn-June and September offers mild temps, less traffic, and better prices under calmer conditions. You will enjoy more daylight the further north you go; sometimes enough to finish a round after 10 pm!
